IMPORTANCE OF APPAREL AND TEXTILE AS A SUBJECT
The Apparel and Textile domain of Home-Economics Programs was originally intended to provide women with expertise to clothe themselves and their families in an efficient and economical manner. Another objective was to provide the students with a more formal understanding of the textile industry for future career opportunities within that field. Early Home Economists helped to make positive contributions to this area by studying different fabrics and dyes, and the proper ways to care for the material. Modern Home-Economics Programs continue to place importance on this domain of the curriculum. Students are given instructions regarding different aspects of Apparel and Textile, including the History of Fashion and its Social Implications, Concerns for the Consumer, as well as Actual Clothing Construction.
Perhaps one of the most enjoyable parts of the Home-Economics disciplines is the ability for students to create their own clothes and other projects. Students learn how to correctly use the various tools and materials necessary to construct their clothing. They learn how to follow the sewing instructions with limited assistance, and are encouraged to use their creative skills. Different tailoring techniques and ways to assess their quality are also demonstrated.
